About this property

Best Kept Secret on the Cajun Riveria, near Holly Beach

A cozy beachfront home with a wide-open view of the Gulf of Mexico. One hour from the Golden Nugget and L Auberge casinos in Lake Charles, Louisiana, yet secluded from the busy beaches of Gulf Shores Alabama, and Galveston. This place is the best-kept secret on the Gulf! It is a perfect place to unwind, relax and enjoy the scenery of birds, shrimp boats, dolphins, and the best seashells found within 50 miles, all without crowds and a beach practically all to yourself. If you prefer a bit more action and crowds with local activities or music and shopping for souvenirs, it can be found just 5 miles East at Holly Beach. Then return to your little oasis at Little Florida Beach for a restful night.
On your way back make a stop at the Library for some super interesting information about our seashells and the Creole Nature Trail.

The bird sanctuary is a plus for bird watchers or even for non watchers. The Peveto Woods houses several acres of a sanctuary for migratory birds. The photos I've posted of some of these gorgeous birds are a courtesy of our neighbor who is an avid bird watcher. Take a stroll down the paths and spend some time in Nature and in solitude, especially in fall and spring.



Fishing is always available in multiple areas, whether it is surf fishing or launching your own boat, or taking a guided fishing trip. Crabbing is also always fun for the family. Crab Traps are provided downstairs. A short walk out to the rocks will guarantee a crab catch of blue gulf crabs for dinner. The local Bayou Convenience Store has bait as well as all the beach supplies that you may have forgotten at home. No worries, it's the best little Walmart and only 5 miles away.
It offers great fast food in their nice clean kitchen and even an "eat in area" with small dining tables to enjoy pizza, hamburgers, sausage, and even breakfast sandwiches.



The sunsets are breathtaking and can be enjoyed on the deck with a glass of wine in comfortable deck chairs.

The small community of 25 homes has some of the friendliest neighbors including our next-door neighbors. Open floor plan with 6 windows to enjoy the view of the beach while eating at the large table for 8 or from the living room while lounging in cozy comfortable chairs, sofa, and love seat. This 3-bedroom home offers 2 queen beds with comfy new mattresses, one double bed, and a twin Tempur-Pedic. Two full baths, one with tub and one with a stand-up shower and a half bath downstairs helps to accommodate up to 7 adults.

Enjoy our Roku TV. with your own Netflix account login and Prime login.




A grill and charcoal are provided downstairs for those who prefer cooking their own burgers, steaks, fish etc. A large stainless-steel table and sink downstairs makes cleaning your fish and or crabs so much easier. The kitchen is stocked with large gumbo pots for boiling shrimp or crabs.



You will not be disappointed with this cozy, clean, well decorated beach cottage. You are only steps away from putting your toes in the sand or letting the kids run wild in a very safe environment while you watch them from the comfortable deck chairs.

The cleaning fee is 75.00 if less than a week and 100.00 for a full 7 days .

This is definitely one of the best kept secrets. Our family loved everything about this camp. It is stocked with more than you need and Mrs Kathy the host is super helpful. The access to the beach is right there and the view from the porch is amazing. We will certainly be booking this again.

This place was the perfect quiet get away. It was near enough to Holly Beach and Hackberry to enjoy the major crabbing spots but away from the “party” life of Holly Beach. It is directly on the beach with the perfect morning and sunset view. The host was extremely responsive and kind. The home had everything you could need and more. You could smell how clean it was the second you walked in. Highly Recommend!

Amazing place you will return to!

From the beginning, Kathy was very easy to communicate with. The Beach house is one of the most comfortable we have stayed at. Very clean and roomy, everything you need for an extended stay. It has a million dollar view,with a nice beach to roam around on with the kids. If you like to fish, wade fishing or just fishing from the beach can be fun. I have already booked the next trip this spring! Thanks Kathy, for being a wonderful host.

Paridise

Absolutely loved this secluded piece of heaven. Beautiful beach with stunning views and an Absolutely wonderful cottage. Cottage was very spacious and set up wonderfully for our family. With no need to leave, we enjoyed seeing the dolphins playing, shrimp boats, crab fishing and pole fishing (with great success), swimming and sea shell seeking. There are so many awesome sea shells along the coast there. Kathy had the home stocked and so comfortable for us. Praying we make it down from Michigan in the near future to enjoy this beautiful retreat again! Thank you Kathy for the memories!

The home was extremely clean and well furnished. There was plenty of pots and pans for cooking. Sitting on the porch watching the sunrise and sunset was breathtaking. We caught lots of fish, crabs, and some small sharks. There were very few people on the beach which was also very clean and relaxing. The hosts were very communicative and we look forward to staying here again.

We enjoyed every aspect of our stay. The home was just a walk over the bridge in front of the house. The beach was quiet and beautiful as promised. Not many people and lots of pelicans to watch. We loved having coffee on the front deck and listening to the ocean. The house was beautifully decorated and exceptionally clean. The neighbors next door were so nice to visit with. We will for sure be returning on our next beach trip.

About the host

Hosted by Mary Kathy Colston

Host profile image
My husband and I are a retired couple and live in Houston, Texas. We love our little "peace" of heaven and are excited to share it with more guests. I am a retired dental hygienist and my husband is a retired electrician and maintenance supervisor of a large company of which he held a position for 40 years.

Why they chose this property

This remote area has a little "best kept secret" with about 25 beach homes just an hour away from Lake Charles, Louisiana and the famous casinos, Golden Nugget and La' Baurge.
It is the most peaceful place to enjoy relaxation, reading, bird watching, fishing, swimming etc.

What makes this property unique

We have the best views from our deck of sunsets, early morning dolphins, birds and shrimpers. We are just steps away from putting your toes in the sand. It's a short walk to the Peveto Bird Sanctury where in Spring and Fall migratory birds flock for a resting place. Bird watchers also flock to take photos and feed a beautiful variety of birds
